Booster Cushion Theatre aims to make all of our shows as flexible and adaptable as possible, to bring theatre to everyone and so they can be played in a wide variety of venues, big or small, inside or out.Over the years, we have played in a variety of outdoor settings from hundreds of performances in the Royal Parks, festivals such as Sting In The Tale and Three Foot Festival and even just for schools in a playground.
This summer, we recently visited a small children’s nursery in London with one of our tales ‘Old McDonald and the Three Pigs Plus…’. A great example of how adaptable the show can be, as even though it was sunny, it was still very windy. But our Big Book was able to withstand the wind and we had lots of happy helpers to harvest on the farm and pretend to be Old McDonald’s farm animals. This is one of our most flexible shows, able to play a variety of weathers and spaces either with a backdrop and lights, or simply just with the Big Book and bags of props.
Old McDonald and the Three Pigs Plus… is a comical mixture of the fairytale and the well known nursery rhyme with lots of chances for everyone to join in. The Three Pigs live on Old McDonald’s farm and are sick of singing EIEIO every day. They decide to move out of the barn and across the farm, where they meet lots of different animals and see lots of crops growing in the fields! But when they start to build their houses, they’re visited by a wolf who just wants to blow them down! This is a funny show with chances for the audience to join in as animals on the farm with our silly props, sing along to our muddled version of Old McDonald Had A Farm and scare away the Wolf!
